You lose it, if you don't spend it.
It's a Health Care Flexible Spending Account.
The FSA part of it, makes it "use it, or lose it", it seems.
For FDX...There's a "spend it by" date, on the Wageworks.com website, under "Health Care".

If you undershoot in a given year, make a trip to the pharmacy and stock up on anything that you might use for the next year. Cold medicine, aspirin, ibuprofen, band aids, etc...... Then plan better next year. I have almost always used every penny. I had HC Flex spending at a previous employer. It was nice to see it in the new contract here.

Had extra money this past November in the account. Made a trip to Walgreen's and spent approx $100. If you have the time, a look on their website will list items that can be purchased that fall within the Health Care Spending Account. At Walgreen's, they call it a Flexible Spending Account -- FSA -- which is also posted on the yellow/white tag in front of the items on the shelf. Also, the receipt will display an "F" next to the items.
FWIW, I think we are limited to the types of stores to use it for purchases for non-precription items. I think we received a description in literature that we could only use it at a Wal-Green's/Rite-Aid type store versus a grocery store to purchase the same items.
